i have returned to civilization! i am a city girl at heart after all...australia was fun in its own way, but if i had to sum up the vacation in one word, it would be this: crocheting. i've spent so much time crocheting over the past few days my ring finger is numb (is that a bad omen?). yes, i who exasperated miss chen during home economics by sewing my reversible vest so irreversibly shut together that not even the arm holes could be found...how crazy. while everyone else relaxed, i was bored out of my mind...although i did get to rewatch the extended version of the two towers.
checked my grades on bear facts and i got an F for my shakespeare class, nearly had a heart attack on the spot...subsequently checked bearmail where i got 2 emails from professor knapp. the first telling me that my 2nd paper could not be found so he would have to give me an F, the second telling me not to worry, that it had been found and that everything was alright...seriously... i hope that wasn't his idea of a practical joke. i very politely emailed him back and wished him merry christmas, though...he replied with his own christmas greetings but i still don't know what my grade is save that it's not an F, didn't need him to tell me that. ah well, it makes for a good story.
we sat on the airport floor playing bridge yesterday while waiting to board the plane. it was hilarious...i was doubled over with laughter. papa still can't get the hang of the game and he makes the most entertaining mistakes. guess it's fun enough when i'm not his partner, which fortunately, i wasn't. love that game...if it isn't obvious already.
i'm off to watch return of the king now!
~~~
it's all over...after all the anticipation there's nothing else to look forward to. i'm talking about lord of the rings of course. return of the king was awesome, as expected...except the ending was really slow, though i think i'm really ok with that. i wonder just how long the extended version is going to be. i've drawn a few conclusions after watching return of the king...
i could listen to the soundtrack over and over...so good.
viggo mortenson does better as the brooding ranger than as a morale-boosting king, he did well at it, but he had to try much much harder...
i love it how a female kills the nazgul..."i am not a man" and he shrivels up. how cool is that?
the real hero of the movie isn't frodo. so why is so much attention paid to him? because he's got the blue blue eyes and the permanently distressed look...always works.
samwise gamgee is awesome. i'd love to have a friend like him. no...i'd love to be a friend like him.
i was sneezing and sneezing all throughout the movie, had to make use of the noisy fight scenes to blow my nose coz i didn't want to annoy the people around me. by the end of the movie i had wads of kleenex on me, think i must have looked (and sounded) like i was weeping buckets throughout the movie. well, the movie has ended but i'm still sniffling away...argh, annoying.

a little bit of admin stuff...i am officially referring you to my xanga site so i don't have to keep copying and pasting anymore. i'll keep this blog more as a personal journal type thing, which probably means i'll be blabbering away on stuff that no one else is interested in...for (a little more) coherent updates on my life, click the link above and bookmark that site instead. thank you for visiting http://psychonut1.blogspot.com, you've all been excellent customers, heh...
